A girl born of light discovers the power that could save her world… or unravel it. Avery Hale never asked for magic. She just wanted to survive high school, stay invisible, and forget the grief she carries like a second skin. But when a mysterious attack shatters the life she thought she knew, Avery’s hidden power erupts—golden, dangerous, alive. And impossible to control. Pulled into a world of shifters, ancient forests, and whispered prophecies, Avery learns she is Mindbound—descended from a lineage powerful enough to bend the balance of magic itself. Her only ally is Kael, the fierce and guarded bear shifter assigned to protect her. He knows more about her destiny than he’s saying… and more about her heart than she’s ready to admit. But an ancient darkness is waking. A creature born from the first Mindbound’s grief—one that has waited centuries for Avery’s power to return. If Avery cannot learn to control the light inside her, she won’t just lose her place in this world. She’ll lose the world itself.
